The Six Wives of Henry the VIII, by Alison Weir


I have to admit, I'm a bit of an Anglo-phile, so I was greatly intrigued. The book is a hybrid of textbook and novel. Ms. Weir wrote this book using historical records to piece together the astounding life of arguably the most famous British King. I had no idea that Anne Boleyn was hated, or that he was married to his first wife for more than 20 years.
It really is a fascinating book. (It is long).
